Struthers, Ohio, in Mahoning County, has about 9,900 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the Prosecuting Attorney files charges, a case in the Mahoning County Court of Common Pleas. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Struthers
The FBI lists Struthers with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Struthers Police Department. It reported 70 arrests for 2025. A city is listed separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
Outside the city, the Mahoning County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 96 arrests for 2025.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Mahoning County: Youngstown State University (campus police); Mill Creek Metropark and Mahoning Valley Law Enforcement Task Force (other).
How Many Arrests Struthers Reports
Each agency reports its arrests to the FBI by month, and the FBI publishes them on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Struthers: 70 for 2025, 80 for 2024, 95 for 2021, 75 for 2020 and 110 for 2019; 2022 and 2023 are missing months.
Struthers's 70 arrests in 2025 were down 13 percent from 80 in 2024.
Through August 2026, Struthers reported 52 arrests, against 49 in the same months of 2025.
Across Mahoning County, the 15 agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 3,865 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Struthers Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Struthers and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
On an average day in 2023 the jail held about 420 people, down from about 480 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2019, the last year with a capacity figure, was 562 beds, and it ran at 86 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
A person sentenced to prison serves the sentence in a facility of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, whose inmate locator is at appgateway.drc.ohio.gov/OffenderSearch.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Struthers
Whether someone was arrested in Struthers, and what came of it, shows up in two places: the case index of the Mahoning County Court of Common Pleas, kept by the Clerk of Courts, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date; the Prosecuting Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at prosecutor.mahoningcountyoh.gov/resources/faq, phone 330-740-2073).
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county, at ecourts.mahoningcountyoh.gov/eservices/home.page.2 (page title: Mahoning County Court View), belongs to a lower court, not to the Mahoning County Court of Common Pleas.
Ohio does not let the public search another person's statewide criminal history. The record kept by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation goes to the person it belongs to and to employers and agencies the law authorizes; for everyone else the court's own case index is the public record of an arrest that led to a charge.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Struthers
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Ohio Public Records Act the agency must answer promptly, within a reasonable period of time, and it may charge the actual cost of copying.
- An arrest by the Struthers police: the police department's page SearchSystems verified at cityofstruthers.com/police_department.html (page title: Struthers Police Department | City of Struthers, Ohio), phone 330.755.9849, 1774 EMAIL City Administration 6 Elm Street, Struthers, OH 44471, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 26, 2026.
